We thought a six-foot-tall LEGO model of Lord of the Ring’s Barad-Dûr tower — you know, the one that features the terrifying Eye of Sauron — was impressive enough, but there’s a new contender in the LoTR LEGO arena. A team of builders that go by the name OneLug recreated the classic scene of The Last March of the Ents from The Two Towers, the second volume of the LoTR trilogy.

If you’ll recall, this scene sees the Ents (the talking and walking tree creatures) deliberating for three days about what they should do about Saruman trying to overtake Middle Earth. They decide to storm Sauruman’s fortress, Orthanc, the black tower at Isengard. They’re led by the oldest Ent, Treebeard. A gang of Ents are joined by Hobbits Meriadoc Brandybuck and Peregrin Took, and the group ruthlessly destroys Isengard. You know the story…

The base of the model is made up of about 305 LEGO studs and is 8 feet in diameter. The tower stands about 228 LEGO bricks tall at 7 feet and 2 inches. The model consists of 23 Ents and over 100 Orcs, and the group estimates there are about 22,000 bricks in the model. That many LEGO pieces is certainly heavy. The model weighs 145 pounds.

The LEGO model shows it all: You can see Merry and Pippin sitting at the top of Treebeard’s leaves; the water rushing in from the damn that eventually floods the grounds of Isengard; the Orcs trying to defeat the Ents; Saruman trapped in his tower; and even an Ent caught on fire.

The group began designing and building the model back in February and finished just in time to make BrickCon this past weekend in Seattle. Make sure to check out OneLug’s Flickr to see more detailed photos of the amazing model.
